Many of you know Frank as the kind of person who shows up whenever someone needs help. When I had the stroke, he and Penny were there for us without hesitation. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.
Over the past year, Frank has faced difficult medical challenges. He underwent a foot amputation in hopes of improving his health and quality of life. Tragically, complications and a serious infection followed, and he is now facing the amputation of his leg below the knee.
This has been physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming for Frank, Penny, and their family. Between repeated hospital stays, surgeries, recovery, rehabilitation, medical equipment, travel expenses, and the loss of income, the burden continues to grow.
Anyone who knows Frank knows his generosity and big heart. He helped us without asking anything in return, and now we are asking our community to come together and help ease some of the stress so he and his family can focus on healing and adapting to this new chapter.
Any donation — no matter the amount — will help with:
Medical and rehabilitation expenses
Household bills and daily living costs
Travel and recovery-related expenses
Prosthetic and mobility needs
Supporting the family during this difficult transition
If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and sending Frank, Penny and the kids all the love, prayers and good energy.
Thank you for helping us support someone who has always supported others.
With gratitude,
Susan (and Ken)
